 B. Reinstatement of Warranty: When Work covered by a warranty has failed and been
corrected by replacement or rebuilding, reinstate the warranty by written endorsement.
The reinstated warranty shall be equal to the original warranty with an equitable
adjustment for depreciation.

C. Replacement Cost: Upon determination that Work covered by a warranty has failed,
replace or rebuild the Work to an acceptable condition complying with requirements of
Contract Documents. The Contractor is responsible for the cost of replacing or
rebuilding defective Work regardless of whether the Owner has benefited from use of the
Work through a portion of its anticipated useful service life.

D. Owner's Recourse: Written warranties made to the Owner are in addition to implied
warranties, and shall not limit the duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise
available under the law, nor shall warranty periods be interpreted as limitations on time in
which the Owner can enforce such other duties, obligations, rights or remedies.

E. Rejection of Warranties: The Owner reserves the right to reject warranties and to limit
selections to products with warranties not in conflict with requirements of the Contract
Documents.

F. The Owner reserves the right to refuse to accept Work for the Project where a special
warranty, certification, or similar commitment is required on such Work or part of the
Work, until evidence is presented that entities required to countersign such commitments
are willing to do so.

G. Disclaimers and Limitations: Manufacturer's disclaimers and limitations on product

warranties do not relieve the Contractor of the warranty on the Work that incorporates the
products, nor does it relieve suppliers, manufacturers, and subcontractors required to
countersign special warranties with the Contractor.

1.05 DEFINITION:

A. Standard Product Warranties are pre-printed written warranties published by individual

manufacturers for particular products and are specifically endorsed by the manufacturer
to the Owner.
